It's been a while since I cancelled Riddle Transfer 2. I feel like I've changed a lot since then, and I want to talk about something that's been brought to my attention a couple of times today.
Back then, I stated quite firmly that no one had permission to continue the series in any way, shape, or form, and I remember my thought process behind that. At the time, I was worried that if anyone continued the series, their artistic vision would stray too far from my own, and the official end of Riddle Transfer would become something I wouldn't approve of.
What never occurred to me is the concept that anyone ought to be able to unofficially continue the series if they want. I mean, I'm not going to finish it, so the official ending to the series was me saying, "Riddle Transfer 2 is cancelled. Here are all the discarded plans: [link]" People have said it time and time again, and I didn't want to admit it, but yeah, that's kind of a terrible ending.
So, here are my new thoughts on the matter:
If you happen to have an interest in unofficially continuing the Riddle School or Riddle Transfer series in your own way... Permission granted! You could make a fan game, a fan comic, a fanfiction, whatever, I don't have to understand it, just go nuts and have a good time. I'm sure that whatever you might have in mind with is better than the "official ending" I shared with the world two and a half years ago.
Now, I'm not so conceited that I'm hoping this will cause people to hop up and shower me with fan stuff. I do know that I have fans, but since I'm the focus of the fanbase and not actually a part of it myself, I can't accurately determine how people perceive me or whether they consider my work worthy of parody/tribute. There's a distinct possibility nothing will come out of this news post whatsoever, and that's fine, but I thought it was important to bring up anyway.
